EUR/USD March 26 – Settles in Low Range As the

EUR/USD  is settling down in a low range, after making a convincing break of support. The deal that was announced in Cyprus left many uncertainties, and an ill timed comment by the head of the Eurogroup also put a lot of pressure on the common currency. Banks in Cyprus remain closed as officials try to sort out the details of the bank haircut. The focus will shift to the US for some time, as a wide range of indicators is expected to give an updated picture of the US economy.

Here is a quick update on the technical situation, indicators, and market sentiment that moves euro/dollar.

  • 1.2880 turned into resistance after holding very well as support for quite some time.
  • The new 2013 low of 1.2828 doesn’t provide meaningful support. 1.2805 is the key: it was the bottom border of a long term range.
